The American Chinchilla rabbit originated in Saint Maur, France. In 1919 they were brought to the United States. Chinchillas were much sought after for it's stunning fur. After the decline of the fur industry the Am Chin nearly became extinct. This now rare breed of rabbit is considered to be critically endangered by the American Livestock Breed Conservancy. The American Chinchilla is a great rabbit to use for meat production. They are docile and friendly, produce large litters and are excellent mothers. Mature does weight in at 10-12lbs and mature bucks weigh in at 9-11lbs.

The Giant Chinchilla Rabbit was created in America in 1921. It is a descendant of the Chinchilla Giaganta, which is known as the "Heavy-Weight" or American Chinchilla. The ideal Giant Chinchilla should weigh, when mature, 13-14 lbs for bucks and 14-15lbs for does. These mature weights make for ideal meat rabbits.
